Word Association is a common word game involving an exchange of words that are associated together. The game is based on the noun phrase word association, meaning "stimulation of an associative pattern by a word" or "the connection and production of other words in response to a given word, done spontaneously as a game, creative technique, or in a psychiatric evaluation." ~ our lord and saviour wikipedia GUIDELINES ① post with your character's name & series. ② include a word of your choice and optionally the definition in the body of your comment. -- visit the random word generator if you need help! ③ other characters will reply with the first word their character associates with the one you chose. ④ continue back and forth until one of you just has to know the story behind an answer.

You haven't heard of Wordle? [SHOCKED.] It's easy to play, see? You have a few chances to guess a 5 letter word.

[bagelbites]

Just one word?

[meltinglight]

Yep. The horizontal lines are your remaining guesses. The game will tell you if any of the letters are correct. Pick a word, let's see if we can do it!

(( one word, five letters... dal looks down, actually counting on his fingers. ))

Begin?

[meltinglight]

[If you're not a native speaker, games like this are a fun way to keep English fresh. Tomoe doesn't think anything of the finger-counting other than Dal has pretty hands.]

The letter E turned green, so that means it is in the correct position. [After tapping the word on the screen, and thinking that BEGIN is a beautifully appropriate selection for Dal's first time.] Good pick!

All the others are grey. That means the word you're looking for doesn't have the letters b, g, i or n, anywhere.

(( a quiet little oh escapes him. the gameplay makes more sense to him now that he's seeing it. now he needs a minute to find a word he knows that doesn't repeat the letters b, g, i, or n. ))

Leaks?

[meltinglight]

[Patiently waiting for the 2nd try, subtly looking at Dal's face. He's pretty...]

That's a smart guess! The letters a and s are good early choices... Oh-! It's all wrong too!

[Tomoe is surprised to see the exact same result as before.]

They're all grey. No l, a, k, or s!

[bagelbites]

(( oh, that's a lot of letters ruled out already. more time passes this time before dal hesitantly offers: ))

Meter?

[meltinglight]

[The letters flip over one by one as Tomoe taps the screen.]

Hhm! What are the odds? Those letters are all grey too except the first e. No m, t, second e, or r. This is a hard one! Only a few chances left, Dal.

[bagelbites]

(( okay, okay. he clearly needs to play this game with paper and pencil so he can list off which letters he's already tried. Alas, since he's trying to keep all in memory... he picks: ))

Teeth?
